Physics Without Frontiers achieves its aims through the passion and hard work of its network of volunteer scientists who organise projects, mentor students, support departments and provide international connections and collaboration.
Our volunteer scientists are experts in their respective research fields. They may be lecturers in universities in developing countries, lecturers, postdocs and graduate students originally from developing countries working abroad, along with scientists from non-developing countries and ICTP scientists.
Each year we make a call for applications from scientists who are interested to volunteer to organise projects, many alumni of the programmes also become volunteers for future projects!
If you are interested to volunteer but do not have a project in mind or collaborators, you can email us with your CV including a brief paragraph detailing:
ICTP Physics Without Frontiers (PWF) works to motivate, train, and educate physics and mathematics university students worldwide, with focus on science and technology lagging countries, to help build the next generation of scientists.
PWF projects are unique, with clearly defined goals and corresponding activities that are designed with a university's or country's specific needs in mind. These may include:
PWF works with local scientists and volunteers to develop each project proposal, involving various activities to achieve the goals of the project. Each project is unique, developed with the universities or country's specific needs in mind.
